A chilly evening.

It’s a chilly evening and once again we might get frost if the sky stays clear all night. We always get frost the next morning (if the sky is clear) if the temperature is 6 C (42,8 F) at ten pm and it has already sunken to 7 C (44,6 F). I wouldn’t mind because the frost would take most of the few mosquitoes we still have and perhaps a couple of tics as well. I had a tic on my stomach the other day, I didn’t realize that until I tore it of by mistake.

It itches like crazy sometimes where the tic had placed itself but it’s just a tiny red mark. But I’ll keep my eyes on it so it doesn’t grow. I really don’t need Lyme disease at the moment :-) At work we all fear that we soon will get another cold again, one person has gone home with a cold and he has most probably already given us it too. He got it from his kids, the usual way all our colds comes to us :-)

We have lots and lots to do at work now so they are actually hiring people and that’s a good thing of course but we’re still to few :-) I’m very much needed at the neighboring factory as well but can’t leave my job at my own work place because very few knows how to paint and that’s kind of nice as well :-) so we’re having a problem. I can’t split myself in two yet, I’ve tried with my thumb and we all know that didn’t go especially well :-):-):-)

We may not go to the bog tonight but we were there yesterday evening instead.

I wish I could get a photograph from the field outside my cottage at the moment, the fog is slowly slithering in and it looks so cool :-) I guess the Bog ladies are cold and have started several fires out there, to bad it’s getting dark now otherwise I would take a walk with my dogs to the bog right now :-)

Is it just an old rotten tree stump way back there or is it a Bog lady?

I better put more logs in the fire and put the kettle on as well. I think this is a quark evening, quark with raspberry taste most probably :-)

Have a great day!

Christer,
We had fog last night but this morning had none, just the rain. It is still really damp, and my kitchen floor is covered in dirty paw prints. Tomorrow is supposed to be really warm then it will go as low as the 40’s that night. I guess the first frost isn’t that far away. They are predicting a snowy winter this year, but we all know how unreliable they can be!

Hi Christer,
I love the photo of Theodor. Orange cat next to orange tree reflections. :)

Watch that tick bite. I was wondering if you had Lyme Disease over in that part of the world yet. It’s probably everywhere by now. Nasty stuff. It’s even nastier than they say it is. It can be dormant in your body even after taking the medicines and testing negative for it. Then it reactivates and causes all kinds of inconvenient things.
It hasn’t been a bad year for ticks here. Probably it was too dry.

It’s raining here, still, but it’s also mild temperatures so not too bad. Rocky is sleeping off his day playing with all his doggy friends and burning off a ton of energy. He such a good dog when he’s asleep. :) Actually, he’s a good dog when he’s awake, too. Most of the time.

Yes I’ll keep an eye on that bite! We’ve read about many cases when it has stayed dormant for years just to break out again. There’s even a young man dying from it not a year ago. I didn’t know one could die from it before I read about it.

We thought we would get many more tics this year than we got, but those we had was bad enough :-) Meningitis spreads all over now because of the tics!

But our dogs are never as cute and innocent as when they are asleep :-):-):-)

Those toadstools or mushrooms amaze me. I have never seen real ones with the tops like that.
Yikes on the tick bite. I am sure you washed it well….not the tick…..you. You can have the tick tested. Someone we knew got bit by one and sent it off and sure enough it was positive. They live in the Hamptons in NY and many of the same family have had this. It is really bad there.

Your post had ended up in the trash bing for some reason, sometimes it’s lucky that I actually look through all posts ending up there :-)

Tic bites are nasty and I really don’t like it when something is feeding of me :-):-):-) It still itches a bit but there’s no red mark anywhere on my body, it doesn’t have to turn up where the tic bit me I learned that from a friend that has gotten Lyme disease several times. I’ve heard that one can get the tic tested but I accidentally tore this one off and I have no idea where it ended up. Thankfully it most likely suffocated in the powder paint at work :-):-):-)

take lots of Vitamin C and wash your hands constantly and MAYBE you won’t get sick.
It’s good that you are in high demand and the only one that knows how to do that job. Good job security! :)
That’s one of the reasons that I sometimes help up front in the reception area and also in back in the lab area. Makes me more valuable.
That and of course, to help the animals.
Love the photo of Teodor. :)

Hi Cindi!
I can’t eat too much vitamin C I’m afraid, I get nose bleed then :-) It’s like a fountain :-):-):-)
But garlic usually works great as long as one eats it all the time, I don’t though :-)

I’ve actually tried the boss to give me an apprentice but I guess he only see the extra cost of someone getting more competence :-) But He knows I’m worth much more than he pays me, I’ve saved lots of money by adjusting the paint machine so it uses less powder paint :-)

Somehow your post ended up way down on my blog list, and I missed it today. So here I am late tonight catching up. Teodor looks very cool and comfortable sitting on the muddy road. I hate to hear about the tick bite. Hopefully you got it off quickly enough. I wonder if a Lyme disease vaccination could be developed for humans, since they have one for dogs.
Have a restful weekend, building up your energy for busy days at work.
